Five Bhatkal patients discharged from hospital after recovering from COVID-19
Karwar: Five COVID-19 patients who were admitted to the INS Patanjali Hospital in Naval Base have been released on Tuesday. The district administration has decided to keep them at a quarantine center in Bhatkal, said Deputy Commissioner Harish Kumar K.
Bhatkal's COVID-19 patients have recovered quickly as they appropriately responded to the treatment. As per government's procedure those who get discharged after recovery would be kept in isolation for a few days, he added.
A total of 9 people who returned from abroad and their contacts were infected with COVID-19. All of them were from Bhatkal and were admitted to the Navy Hospital in Karawar for treatment. Two of the 9 infected people had recovered earlier. Now the other five have been discharged. An infected woman has been admitted to the Udupi hospital for treatment as she is pregnant and she is also recovering, DC Harish Kumar informed.

TCS orders probe, engages external experts in Nashik Case
Mumbai: Tata Consultancy Services on Friday said it has initiated a formal internal investigation into allegations linked to its Nashik unit and engaged independent external experts to ensure transparency in the process.
Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director K Krithivasan was quoted by The Observer Post as saying that the company has appointed Deloitte and Trilegal as independent counsel to support the probe. The internal investigation is being led by Aarthi Subramanian.
The company has constituted a supervisory committee chaired by independent director Keki Mistry, which will oversee the process. The committee will also review findings and monitor the implementation of recommendations.
Krithivasan said a preliminary review of the company’s internal systems and records had not revealed any complaints of the nature being alleged through its ethics or POSH channels.
He also clarified that an employee named in media reports, Nida Khan, was not part of the human resources function and did not hold any leadership role. He informed that she worked as a process associate.
The company has also rejected reports suggesting that operations at the Nashik facility had been suspended. It asserted that the unit continues to function without disruption with a zero-tolerance policy towards misconduct.
